List of all of the HSS Announcements

High School National Honor Society

11th and 12th graders: If you are eligible to apply to NHS this year (at least a 3.5 GPA), you received an email last week inviting you to the NHS interest/application information meeting that was held on October 19 in the afternoon. If you were unable to attend, a recording of the video can be found in the All School course in Schoology. It can be found under the updates. Please remember, the application is due on November 5, no later than 3:00 pm. You are still able to apply even if you did not attend the interest/application information meeting.

Summer Residential Governor’s Schools

The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) offers the opportunity for 10th and 11th grade students to apply to attend summer residential Governor’s schools in academics and Visual and Performing Arts (VPA). Students who are accepted into one of the programs will live in residence halls in one of the state colleges in VA for four weeks in the June - late July timeframe. To learn more about SRGS opportunities and the application process, read all of the details here.

Ap Information Night

Student-Parent Survey for Federal Impact Aid

Starting on October 13, the Student-Parent Survey for Federal Impact Aid will be distributed to all FCPS families. For each school-aged child in your household, please complete, sign, date, and return the survey to your child’s school by November 5

FCPS to Require Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination for Athletic Participation

Beginning November 8, FCPS will require proof of full COVID-19 vaccination for any student participating in Virginia High School League (VHSL) winter and spring sports for the remainder of the 2021-22 school year. Proof of full COVID-19 vaccination will also be required for participation in any other activity that requires a physical. This includes dance team and step team, as well as out-of-season practices and workouts.

Anticipated Bus Delays

Due to the bus driver shortage, we will be increasing “double back” bus runs, meaning a bus is required to run two scheduled routes back to back that would normally have been covered by two separate buses. These “double backs” may impact delivery time to schools or bus stops and may have a domino effect, affecting after-school drop-off times.

Broadband Benefit

There is now a new Emergency Broadband Benefit available to eligible households through the Federal Communications Commission. This is a temporary benefit that will help to lower the cost of internet broadband service during the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. Find out more.

Online Attendance Form!

Submitting a student absence has never been easier thanks to our new online attendance form!

Parent Technology Help Desk

The Parent Technology Help Desk will continue to support parents and students. The number is 1-833-921-3277 (833-921-FCPS). It will be answered by staff from 7 a.m. - 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.
